Come eat The Mapwich (A collaborative community project) - RC1 available!!!
What do you get when you take 2 thick slices of vanilla textures, layer 30 different mappers for 15 maps, add a generous dollop of mek's box o' skies, and toast it to a crispy finish in a 3 week build time? Why you get The Mapwich of course.
What started out as a discord server joke became a dumb idea that then transformed into something of a genuinely high quality with a twist. Everyone in the project would be paired up with another mapper to make collaborative maps ... and the teams would be randomly assigned. With an experience level ranging from never have mapped before to hardened mapper (and everything in between) 30 brave souls put their name into the hat (names were literally drawn from a hat live on stream) and fate took over from there.
What should have happened was disaster and a few if any maps submitted. What actually happened was an energetic, fun and at times frantic mapping project that has produced some outstanding maps. With a variety of aesthetic elements and game play styles in all formats (only criteria was that they had to be tested in GZDoom) we've ended up with a pack that should contain something tasty for all palates. The range made more impressive by the fact that other than mek's box o' skies and a couple of fall textures, everything used is Doom 1 and 2 stock assets. RC1 is here! Get it while it's hot and spicy (jk, it's always hot and spicy)
The Mapwich v0.9
Old versions
Individual maps have been balanced/tested and we are now currently going through testing the compiled build which has been connected up in a hub map. If you want to get a bite early and help with the final testing it is being managed through my discord server The Hellforge. Once any bugs have been identified and cleared RC1 will be released for the wider public on this thread. And to whet the appetite in the mean time a little taste with maps by: Insane Gazebo and Danlex Jimmy and The Individualist
